I'd like to arrange for some sort of reward for the top 10 reviewers. We could turn that into an annual event.
What are your plans on avoiding "quantity instead of quality" effects?
How does the packaging community currently ensure that packages reviewed are of sufficient quality?

My thoughts on this is that as we progress further down the food chain the reviews are more likely to be in a quantity vs quality battle. In fact with these stats when someone all of a sudden jumps up they might then get a few looks at there reviews. Another thought would be to each month or two have the sponsor verify at least one of the bugs of each of there minions. As a packager myself I would actually appreciate this, keeps everyone in the loop on little changes by packaging committee.
